Gardience is a console for patching, hardening, and proving compliance (CMMC Level 2, DISA STIG) on Windows and Linux, built on open-source Salt. It runs on your own Linux server, fully offline, or hosted by us, for one flat yearly price per fleet. We are based in Norman, Oklahoma.
Every number we publish was measured on real cloud machines, installed the way you would install Gardience, and each one links to its method, logs, and signed evidence on the proof page. That includes 1,020 Windows and Linux servers patched in 13 minutes in one approved run, and an SPRS score taken from -203 to 110 with the technical side done in 35 minutes.
The blog, guides, and comparison pages are written by Gardience Engineering. Every price, date, and rule we cite links to its source or names it with the date we checked it. Commands in our guides were run in our own lab before they were published. Competitors are described from their public documentation and price lists, including when they are the better choice. When a fact changes, we update the page and show the updated date.
Gardience is registered in SAM (UEI Y5LBHH9WJ399, CAGE 22VQ0). Government pays the same published prices as everyone else, by card or purchase order. Contracting details are on the government page and in the capability statement.
